Time to unleash your creativity at Creator Camp

Kingsport Parks and Recreation in partnership with Kingsport Cultural Arts will be offering Creator Camp this summer at Allandale Mansion for children and teens to unleash their creative talents.

Each day brings a new hands-on adventure, from building wild inventions on Junkyard Wars Day to sculpting with clay and wire, experimenting with printmaking and painting, and crafting everything from friendship bracelets to shrinky dinks and Perler bead creations.

Camp wraps up with a free-create day and a special art reception for family and friends at Harvey’s Barn at Allandale.

Two sessions are being offered during the week of June 22-26. Children ages 6 to 11 will meet from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day with a reception on Friday from 12 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. Children ages 12 and older will meet from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. each day with a reception on Friday from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The cost is $50 per child for city residents and $60 per child for non-city residents. Campers are encouraged to bring snacks and beverages to enjoy during the session.
